Pitsea railway station is on the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway line, serving the small town of Pitsea in the borough of Basildon, Essex. It is situated at a junction where a loop line via Tilbury Town re-joins the main line via Basildon. Down the main line it is 26 miles 42 chains (42.7 km) from London Fenchurch Street; via the alternative loop it is 32 miles 37 chains (52.2 km) down-line. Its three-letter station code is PSE.

It was originally opened in 1855[1][2] but was replaced by a new station on an adjacent site in 1888.[2] The station was renamed Pitsea for Vange in 1932, but reverted to the original name Pitsea in 1952.[2]

The station and all trains serving it are currently operated by c2c.

Description

The station is immediately south of the A13 road, adjacent to a level crossing which gives the main road access to the marshes area south of Pitsea and Basildon.

A new station building was opened in October 2005. Derek Twigg (then rail minister) attended for the "ribbon cutting" in November 2005. The building houses customer toilets and a retail unit. The station also has four automatic ticket gates.

The ticket office has two serving positions and uses the Tribute issuing system. Outside the ticket office is a self-service ticket machine that takes payment by both cash and cards.
